Biggest
pub in
Highgate, and the oldest pub building, dating from the 1600s. In
summer months full of
tourists and vile
student types, and often people talking about how much
money they've got and how to get more. Is opposite big
Georgian houses inhabited by
Annie Lennox,
Pierce Brosnan, and
Sting, and formerly by
Yehudi Menuhin,
Coleridge, and
J.B. Priestley.
There is also a Flask in neighbouring Hampstead, in Flask Walk. This has a saloon bar and a lounge bar in which different prices are charged, separated by an ornate glass screen. One of the centres of Hampstead life.
